Magnesium forgings used in construction machinery need to consider the following factors in terms of fire performance and safety assessment:
- Combustion characteristics of magnesium forgings: Magnesium metal has good combustion performance, and once a fire occurs, it may burn rapidly and produce high temperature. Therefore, in the construction machinery using magnesium forgings, it is necessary to pay attention to the fire protection design and measures for magnesium forgings.
- Fire protection design and isolation: In the design and manufacturing process of construction machinery, corresponding fire protection design measures need to be taken according to the actual situation. For example, the parts in direct contact with magnesium forgings can be coated with non-combustible materials or fireproof layers to reduce the risk of magnesium forgings burning in the event of a fire.
- Fire detection and alarm system: construction machinery should be equipped with appropriate fire detection and alarm system, timely detection of fire and alarm, in order to take timely rescue and fire extinguishing measures.
- Fire extinguishing system: The fire extinguishing system on the construction machinery needs to be able to effectively control and extinguish the fire of magnesium forgings. Common fire extinguishing systems include dry powder fire extinguishers, foam fire extinguishing systems, etc. The choice of the appropriate fire extinguishing system needs to be determined according to the use of the construction machinery environment and the characteristics of magnesium forgings.
- Safety assessment: For magnesium forgings used in construction machinery, safety assessment can be carried out, and factors such as conditions of use, material characteristics, fire prevention measures need to be considered in the evaluation process to determine its safety performance in use.
It should be noted that when using construction machinery, it is not only necessary to pay attention to the fire performance and safety assessment of magnesium forgings, but also to consider other aspects of safety issues, such as mechanical operation specifications, equipment maintenance, etc., to ensure the safe operation of construction machinery.
